A Different Energizer

 100% Student engagement is quintessential to achieve TFI goals. And so, Energizers are part of TFI culture, which keep students (fellows too, sometimes) attentive and interested when their minds wander off to unknown kingdoms full of freedom. They can be anything, some small physical activity, a short poem, a class chant... Yesterday we did an energizer which I never considered to be one. Something that not only wakes me up from my dormant state, but also instils a sense of purpose deep down. Something that I had not done in a very long time – more than 10 years!! So, when I heard the National Anthem in the summer school assembly, it brought back so many memories which seemed like distant past to me. Never the one to consider boundaries as uniting factors, but then I could see kids from all backgrounds irrespective of all their differences singing together. Fellows from different parts of the world, varied professions, differing mind sets standing side by side, befitting a brotherhood - raise their voices in unison. Something that reminds me there is hope left after all… people only need to understand what it really means … and let’s hope they do take it to the next level!!
